Flutter: Install different versions of dependency for each platform (iOS and Android)

I'm trying to install the flutter_blue dependency for bluetooth in flutter, and have realized that in my environment only version 0.6.2 works for android and version ^0.6.3+1 for ios.

Is there a way to declare a dependency or version that is platform-specific?

I'm facing the same issue, and ended up doing the following :

  1. Creating a dedicated pubspec for iOS named pubspec.ios.yaml. You can then put anything specific to iOS here:

    ...
dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_blue: 0.6.3+1
...

  2. Adding a small script in my build pipeline:

    # We use a specific pubspec file for iOS
cp pubspec.ios.yaml pubspec.yaml
flutter pub get

Note that "flutter pub get" is required to re-generate pubspec.lock.

It is a bit dirty, but I did not come up with anything cleaner than that.

PS: I'm using Microsoft App Center for CI/CD, so the above was added to appcenter-post-clone.sh script just before the call to flutter build

# We use a specific pubspec file for iOS
cp pubspec.ios.yaml pubspec.yaml
flutter pub get

# The build !
flutter build ios --release --no-codesign -vvv
